  • Thank you Stuart Blues

    I love this podcast, it’s very well written and investigated. Stuart’s voice is perfect and the shorter length of the show is great to accompany me on my usual drive. It’s brilliant how there’s so much information given in a very concise and engaging fashion. Thank you Stuart for keeping up the good work.
